"Push" video from iMac to iPad Mini for user to watch immediately

How can I "push" a video from my iMac to the screen of my wife's iPad mini allowing her to watch it immediately without transferring the actual file? I often come across a video that she would like but currently, I need to convert the file to an MP4 and put it in her iTunes, then use a program to allow her to access the file. Or she syncs her iPad Mini. Long before this, she has completely lost interested and is onto something that is easier to do.

I'd like to just send the video to the screen of her iMac Mini with very little/no actions by her.

No, I think StraemToMe IS what you will have to use to do what you want to do. You CANNOT arbitrarily push anything to the iPad or any other device without consent..that just isn't how the system is designed..

You can, however, grab videos of interest and place them in a location on the iMac and instruct your wife to use the StreamToMe application to instantly watch it from the location you've pointed her to..

In most cases I would say yes. However, people with vision problems or do not have a steady hand will have problems. What I am doing now is starting the movie on the iPad and handing it to her or my parents.

It would be easier if I could send them a video link that they could click on that would start the video.

It doesn't solve all the problems (or work in every case) but it would be useful.

Unfortunately, as you've discovered, a lot of the new electronics these days aren't for the technically savvy or disabled to some extent. They make a concerted effort to try to work with that demographic, but you have to imagine that the bulk of the users don't fit into that category, so there aren't really any real good solutions there..

Heck, iOS doesn't even support the concept of multiple users so that you can have two people with different sets of apps/settings for sharing..
